CUET PG 2026 Normalisation Process: How scores are calculated

The NTA adopts a percentile-based normalisation method for CUET PG 2026 to ensure fairness across different exam sessions and varying difficulty levels, so that no candidate gains an undue advantage or disadvantage. According to NTA, a percentile score reflects the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below a particular score in a session. The highest scorer in each session is awarded a percentile of 100, while all other scores are converted in corresponding percentiles.

The percentile is calculated using the formula:

100 × (number of candidates in the session scoring equal to or less than a candidate ÷ total number of candidates in that session).
